We got a rental car and enjoyed the mobility by checking out a
few areas we had heard about. First we
headed north to see a natural site to maybe spot some wildlife. The Bamboo
Cathedral is located in Tucker Valley, Chaguaramas. It is a stretch of
approximately 300 meters, along a Tracking Station Road where the bamboo stalks
bend towards each other forming a canopy above the road. The arches formed
above bear a resemblance to those found in cathedrals and has remained
unchanged for 150 years.
We encountered
some road maintenance guys who, despite the large machete, did not look too
menacing.

We did not see the birds that others had mentioned but did
hear and see a family of Howler monkeys.
We recognized their unique howls and quickly spotted them in the tree
tops before they scurried away.

Just around the corner we found Zip-Itt Adventures where they suited
us up for some fun along the tree tops.
The have seven steel cables that run between the tree tops about 100
feet above the ground. The runs are
between 100 to 500 feet long with the short almost horizontal ones first. Five net bridges connect between the tree top
platforms and are made less scary by flat boards that run along the bottom. They still sway a little as you walk, but the
zip lines are the main attraction.

Following the zipping, we did some provisioning at the fresh
market and grocery stores. We found the market as colorful as we
re/membered.

With the galley filled, we
checked out of the country, replenished our beer and wine from the duty-free
store and pushed off north. We had a
little mix-up at the fuel dock and they sold us 300 gallons at the local $0.95
US per gallon price which will make us remember Trinidad a little more fondly. Follow us, Dear reader, as we move north to
the spice island…Grenada.
